This is Lin Jiang's private account, and only a few people know about it.

There was silence on the other end of the call.

After a long time, the sound of a lighter was heard.

The night outside the balcony became thick, and it was foggy and difficult to see the road ahead.

Lin Jiang's expression was solemn, he didn't care how the person on the other end got his number, he just wanted to say: "Don't look for me again, I have nothing to do with KUG." ”

There was a low laugh on the phone, and after a deep breath of restraint, he still patiently asked him, "Are you used to it over there?" ”

This greeting evoked a lot of memories for Lin Jiang.

When he first came to KUG, he asked him the same thing.

It's just that at that time, the young man was successful and high-spirited, and the two could talk about everything, but now they are separated by a distance and strangeness.

Lin Jiang squeezed his phone tightly, "I've already left KUG." ”

The person on the other end didn't seem to have slept well, and there was a faint tiredness in his voice: "I just returned to China, and in fact, the contract is ......."

Lin Jiang closed his eyes forcefully, and opened the coldness of the night again: "He Shao, I'm no longer in KUG now, and it doesn't matter to me what the contract is." Also, this is my private number, no matter who gave it to you, I hope you don't call again. ”

The silent night swallows people up like a hopeless abyss.

The sound of the lighter sounded again, sparks flickered, and He Yu threw the cigarette from his fingertips on the ground and stomped on it vigorously.

It took a long time to reply to him with a deep "Okay." ”

He Hu has always said that he will not disobey as long as he agrees.

What's more, how could someone as arrogant as him bow his head repeatedly for a contestant.

Lin Jiang hung up the phone, with a cold color in his lowered eyes.

He flipped through the list of phones and found the culprit: "You gave him my number?"

Brother Wit was a little scared: Ah Jiang, don't be angry first, He Shao has a project cooperation with us, and it is not good for me not to give it to me when he asks me for it, and you are not ...... before

Lin Jiang exhaled a breath of turbidity and typed vigorously: I'll make it clear to you, no matter how good my relationship with him was before, it was over from the moment I left KUG, and if he asked you for contact information in the future, you said that I wouldn't let you go.

Brother Wit: Okay, okay, I'm sorry, Ajiang, hey, you used to have such a good relationship, I thought it was ......

Lin Jiang turned off the screen of his mobile phone and stood in front of the wide balcony.

S City in the middle of the night is like a monster and wants to devour him.

He had thought that Houl was the same idealist as himself.

Until that day, the contract was in front of him, until he was trapped in KUG for three years that were worse than death.

Until he knew that the contract was acquiesced by Ho Hu, and even Alike was Ho Hu's personal talk about KUG -

He just knew.

He and Houl have never been of the same kind.

In front of the capitalists who eat human blood steamed buns, being friends with them is tantamount to sending yourself to the weighing platform, you are measuring how much friendship you have, and he is measuring how much you are worth.

Lin Jiang subconsciously wanted to smoke, touched his pocket, and realized that this was four years ago, and he didn't have the habit of carrying cigarettes with him.

He tried to restrain himself for so long.

As a result, a phone call tonight pulled him back into the abyss.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang couldn't breathe, he held on to the railing of the balcony, and his arms felt numb.

The door behind him suddenly opened, and a light poured in.

Song Zhixu was like a puppy waiting for the owner's coveting, holding the door frame and looking at him with bright eyes, "Captain, I'm done with Ah Deng, can I line up with you?" I just saw you give Shen Ju assistance, I want this kind of treatment too......"

Lin Jiang couldn't help laughing.

He really doesn't know, how can a man like Song Zhixu like to be coquettish like a child?

He raised his hand and patted his head, "No. ”

Immediately left the balcony, and Song Zhixu also hurriedly followed.

I don't know if it's his delusion, the moment he pushed open the balcony door just now.

He saw that Lin Jiang's face was half-bright and half-dark under the light, as if he was about to feather into another side that he didn't recognize.

At that time, I didn't know why, Song Zhixu suddenly panicked in his heart, so he hurriedly opened the door.

Under the staggered light and dark, Lin Jiang smiled a little helplessly.

But Song Zhixu knew that the Lin Jiang he knew was back.

He grinned silly and glued it again, "Captain, you will be in a double row with me once, I promise not to trick you......"

The day's training ended in a noisy fight.

Lin Jiang stretched out his arms, feeling much more relaxed in OT than in KUG.

The atmosphere at OT was the most lively he'd ever seen, with no management pressure, no coaching staff control, and no strange rivalry between teammates.

Everyone is like friends living under the same roof, and they are easy to get along with.

The coach briefly summed up two sentences and let them go.

At this time, it was only 10 o'clock, and Lin Jiang saw that it was still early, so he went downstairs to the 24-hour convenience store to buy some water and two packs of cigarettes.

The young lady at the cash register glanced at him hesitantly, and Lin Jiang smiled: "I'm 21 years old." ”

His facial features are delicate, his face is not big, although his bones are open, they are relatively thin, and he does look very small, Song Zhixu of the same team is only one year older than him, but he looks much older than him.

The young lady blushed, hurriedly settled the bill for him, and whispered after paying: "21 is also quite small, smoking is harmful to health......"

Lin Jiang nodded, put the cigarette in his pocket, and turned his head to bump into Shen Ju who went downstairs to buy water.

Shen Ju didn't have his hat with him, his hair was wet and messy.

The skin exposed under the collar was very white, a collarbone could be seen, and there was a wet scent on the body, which looked like it had just taken a shower and came downstairs to blow the wind.

Usually Shen Ju doesn't like to deal with people, he likes to keep his head down when he walks, and he always wears his hat in the base, Lin Jiang doesn't see his face very clearly.

Now that I take a closer look, his facial features have grown, and he is becoming more and more like the little young master worth tens of billions in the TV series.

Lin Jiang nodded and said hello to him, put the cigarette in his pocket, stood under the light on the side of the road, and habitually touched the cigarette on the spot

This body is still not suitable for smoking, and coughs when you are in a hurry.

He smoked half a cigarette, and when he turned around, he saw that Shen Ju hadn't gone up after shopping, standing at the door of the gloomy handover and looking at him.

The lights were too dim at night, and Lin Jiang couldn't see his expression clearly, but Shen Ju could see him clearly.

Lin Jiang's thin figure stood in the bright light, with a backlight above his head, a faint firework between his fingertips, and coughed gently, as if every time he smoked, he would take away a part of the anger in his body.

Shen Ju kept staring at the cigarette in his hand.

He could feel that Lin Jiang's smoking movements were very sophisticated, it was not the first time he smoked, but his body seemed to be unable to bear it, and the thin tails of his eyes were a little red.

Light and dark are intertwined, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

Shen Ju had never seen such a Lin Jiang, annihilated in the smoke, as if opening another side that no one knew.

Lin Jiang saw that he had been looking at him, "Don't you go back to sleep?" ”

Shen Ju shook his head, and he took the initiative to slowly walk towards him in the dim light, stepping into the smoky place where he couldn't breathe.

Lin Jiang was so skilled that he extinguished the cigarette.

Seeing that he still had no intention of leaving, he took the initiative to propose: "Do you want to go?" ”

The location of OT is very remote, and there is a kind of relaxation and comfort in the noisy S City, especially the sidewalk behind it that is full of locust trees on both sides.

When summer arrives, the acacia flowers are in full bloom.

The entire street is paved with purple and has a pleasant scent.

"You played well today, but you had a bad habit and it felt like you didn't trust your teammates very much."

Lin Jiang faced the evening breeze, the gloom in his heart gradually dissipated, and he naturally chatted with each other.

"You've found a good position in every team fight, and your output is also very strong, but I think you can play better, and if you can try to trust your teammates more, it can help you find a good position in advance."

Shen Ju rarely trusts his teammates in the game.

He will observe each teamfight first, which also causes him to always have a 1-2 second no output link in the teamfight.

Sometimes his teammates are dead, and he's still looking for an output location, and that alone has been sprayed online for a long time.

"AD's decision-making is just as important, sometimes a few tenths of a second can decide a situation, you want to be stronger, these are weaknesses that you have to overcome."

Shen Ju listened quietly.

If these words came out of someone else's mouth, he would feel that others were yin and yang him, but when he said it from Lin Jiang's mouth, he really felt that he was doing it for his own good.

He let out a "hmm", silently wrote it down, and walked forward following Lin Jiang's footprints.

Lin Jiang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around: "Shen Ju, why are you playing professionally?" ”

Shen Ju paused abruptly and almost bumped into Lin Jiang.

The distance between the two was unprecedented, so close that he could smell the faint smell of tobacco between each other's lips.

He took a half step back, the roots of his ears reddening, "I like to play games." ”

"Just like to play games?" Lin Jiang was puzzled.

"Then you can play at home, there is no need to play professionally, is there nothing you want on this road?"

What Shen Ju wants is freedom, freedom from being bound by the Shen family, and e-sports is the only life-saving straw he can grasp, so he grabs this straw and climbs up regardless of the strange eyes of others......

Someone once asked Shen Ju the same question.

He replied honestly.

As a result, those people burst into laughter, "Playing e-sports is just to get rid of the family? Are you in Versailles...... Sure enough, the little young master who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, and he still plays the runaway set, are you naïve...... Oops, I'm kidding, you're not going to be angry, are you? ”

Since then, Shen Ju has never mentioned this to anyone again.

He grimaced, "I only play games." ”

After hearing this, Lin Jiang suddenly solemnly patted him on the shoulder.

"Esports isn't just about games, it should have something else worth pursuing, otherwise you won't be able to go down this path."

Shen Ju realized that Lin Jiang was talking to him about his ideals, and his pupils moved slightly.

He looked at him uncertainly: "Don't you think it's naïve to talk about ideals?" ”

Lin Jiang laughed "poof", and looked at him with a smile in his eyes: "Only people who don't have ideals will feel that it's ridiculous to talk about ideals, and for people with ideals, whether it's the process or the result, it's something that is very meaningful and worth remembering for a lifetime......

"Of course, it would be a lifetime of happiness to meet another person who is like-minded."

It would be a blessing of a lifetime to meet another person who is like-minded......

Shen Ju looked into his eyes, and his heartbeat slowly became faster.

It was as if something was waking up in my heart, about to come out.

But soon Lin Jiang put away his smile and asked him curiously:

"Song Zhixu said that you have been fined a lot for swearing, I am a little curious, which words will be fined? How much is the fine? ”

"For example, with the word mother? Bringing a family? And what about personal attacks? Stupid, stupid, will this kind of also be punished? Would it be better to change it to a stupid der? ”

Shen Ju: ......

"I haven't tried."

"Ah, then remember to tell me the result when you're done trying."
